Lead auto conversion

I have a requirement where web2leads need to be automatically converted.

 

So

1. I have a before update trigger that takes the lead and assigns lead owners depending on the workload. (Round robin assignment)

2. after update trigger that uses the convertLead() method to convert the lead.

 

The debug log says the conversion result is true (look below) and even gives me the IDs of the account, contact and opportunities. however, these records are NO WHERE to be found. Appending the IDs to the instances like https://na5.salesforce.com/00Q7000000QNZjwEAH only results in

 Searching in the search bar = no result. Where are my records??? What am I missing?

 

FYI. Creating new leads thru the UI and setting the custom piclist to web2 lead, works flawlessly. Ownerships is update and lead is auto converted on save. Its when the lead comes from web, that this happens.

Are you sure you tried to append the account and opportunity Id's to the URL. The example you gave uses the Lead Id (and the lead is gone after conversion)

Ofcourse I have. I copy-pasted the wrong URL. I have tried all three IDs - Account, Contact and Opportunity

For those who are interested in this topic, I logged a case with salesforce developer support - which got escalated (with no answers yet).

 

But in the meanwhile, I got a workable solution. The problem was the salesforce was not committing the data. Hence the problem of "Date not available". I tweaked my auto conversion method to execute asynchronously using the @future method and it works great. Until salesforce says there is a better way to do it, I guess I will have to go this route.
